Revelation 22:7-21

New American Standard Bible

⁷“And behold, ^(A)I am coming quickly. ^(B)Blessed is the one who ^[a]keeps ^(C)the words of the prophecy of this book.”

⁸^(D)I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, ^(E)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. ⁹And ^(F)he *said to me, “^[b]Do not do that; I am a ^(G)fellow servant of yours and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who ^[c]keep the words of ^(H)this book. Worship God!”

The Final Message

¹⁰And he *said to me, “^(I)Do not seal up ^(J)the words of the prophecy of this book, ^(K)for the time is near. ¹¹^(L)Let the one who does wrong still do wrong, and the one who is filthy still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness, and the one who is holy still keep himself holy.”

¹²“Behold, ^(M)I am coming quickly, and My ^(N)reward is with Me, ^(O)to reward each one as his work ^[d]deserves. ¹³I am the ^(P)Alpha and the Omega, ^(Q)the first and the last, ^(R)the beginning and the end.”

¹⁴Blessed are those who ^(S)wash their robes, so that they will have the right to ^(T)the tree of life, and may ^(U)enter the city by the ^(V)gates. ¹⁵^(W)Outside are the ^(X)dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

¹⁶“^(Y)I, Jesus, have sent ^(Z)My angel to testify to you of these things ^[e]^(AA)for the churches. I am ^(AB)the root and the ^(AC)descendant of David, the bright ^(AD)morning star.”

¹⁷The ^(AE)Spirit and the ^(AF)bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And ^(AG)let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires, take the ^(AH)water of life without cost.

¹⁸I testify to everyone who hears ^(AI)the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone ^(AJ)adds to them, God will add to him ^(AK)the plagues that are written in ^(AL)this book; ¹⁹and if anyone ^(AM)takes away from the ^(AN)words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from ^(AO)the tree of life and ^[f]from the holy city, ^(AP)which are written in this book.
